  • It’s absolutely ridiculous how hard the school systems make it to get on a bus route.

    You basically have to stay at the same residence and at the same school for their entire education. Even just moving within the district and they use it as an excuse to “put you on a wait list”.

    Add in the shortage of drivers (who wants that job) and any excuse they can use to change boundaries or cut a route.

    It’s like the fucking DMV on steroids.






  • Responding but my hearing loss is not quite like yours.

    I don’t know that I’ll ever be fully deaf, but I would say that I enjoy subtitles quite a bit. It let’s me watch TV without sound, because to hear what the voice track is saying I have to crank the volume and even then I’m not always great at understanding what is said.

    It’s harder than listening to music, I think because like you said there are so many other sounds mixed in.

    With music I do try to check in, I have a few songs with some bass frequencies that I can hear, and if I can’t, I need to see the doc quickly.

    I have friends that work in industrial jobs and have full loss in one side or the other, in their 30’s / 40’s. They each manage differently but the time to full loss for them was determined a bit by how and what they were working on.

    And from a hearing perspective, car washes are the worst. The noise and frequency is the most harsh thing I encounter in daily life the doesn’t have a volume control.

    Also, hearing aids do help me make sense of words the right way. Worth it if you can get them.

    I know I didn’t answer your question directly but wish you the best on your journey and your message was not offensive at all. Would not have picked up that English was jot your first language, doing well there.

    Cheers!



  • Owners are going to cash out before the liability of player injuries comes due. That is what I see here.

    This may - and big guess here - may be good for the league. Ownership that would previously passed down through inheritance can now be sold off to structured businesses.

    Also, if a toxic owner is booted out of the league the path to financial stewardship is now a lot more open, rather than what I’d assume to be one of the most gated of circles it would take to be an owner currently.
